Blogger's Quilt Show
First, a confession .... I opened this account so I could participate in the Blogger's Spring Quilt Show! Whew! With that off my chest I can tell my quilt's story.
I love the movement of the "Storm at Sea" pattern and have wanted to make one for several years. I was able to take a class at Quilter's Paradise from Wendy Mathson, author of A New Light on Storm at Sea. To my astonishment I was able to create my quilt Chicken of the Sea. I was able to connect two things I enjoy, quilting and chickens. I love this little quilt and it brings me great joy! I have since made several others and enjoyed each moment in their creation.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogland! Be prepared to be hooked!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I made this pattern as a mystery last year. I saved the pattern for a year. I never would have made it otherwise, but it looked good in the red and green. I wish I'd made the bigger version.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am in love with this quilt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, your quilt turned out great!
ReplyDeletesuch a work of art!! so stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteWow! A storm at sea quilt. I've always wanted to try one and a class would be a good way to get it done. Your quilt is great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing quilt. Thanks for opening up a blog to share it.
ReplyDeleteI like the color combination and design.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning quilt! Just lovely! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. Actually, the double take quilt I made is super simple. It is just two different prints of fabric. Two plain fabrics (brown and orange) and two printed fabrics (one brown one with white flowers and the same in an orange). It looks a lot like lace but really it is just a print fabric. It just gives a neat illusion.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you chose to join us..........our numbers are still growing, this festival is crazy GREAT
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt!
So you are a blogger now- welcome to your new addiction! LOL! I started my blog so I could join a challenge and I have made so many new "friends".

Chickens and quilting! I love it! I've always wanted to make a storm at sea quilt also... I love how you made it your own! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteI love your Chicken of the Sea! Glad you started this blog. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteStorm at Sea is such a fascinating pattern- it gives the illusion of curves without curve piecing. I have often thought of making it for my brother in law and sister in law in NFld.
ReplyDeleteYours is a terrific version- there are so many terrific patterns out there - doesn't it just make you want to go and make so many new quilts?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt.
